How do I get copyright for lyrics site?
Copyright is a right which comes into existence the moment you publish something. So the moment you will publish the lyrics of a song on your website, you will get the copyright.Note : I am presuming that you will publish the lyrics written by you or the lyrics for which you have got the permission from the original copyright holder. In case, you are publishing lyrics of songs written by someone else, you don’t get the copyright for that. In such a case you will have to contact the original copyright holder for permission to use their work on your site.And if you are publishing lyrics of the songs written by you, it is better to apply in the copyright office so that there is an official evidence of ownership in your support.Thanks,Sumit Nagpal Nagpal & Associates, Advocates and Solicitors

Can you copyright lyrics that borrow lines from other songs?
Also, if its ok to use less than 10% of a copyrighted work, does that mean less than 10% can be taken from yours without giving credit? For example if you wrote a song and you wrote an amazing line, or an awesome chorus, and sent the entire song out to people, would they be able to steal jus that line or part of the chorus without giving credit because its less than 10%?
What purpose does the copyright and patent power serve?
patent power is still pretty solid, and will, if properly filed, preserve your rights to an invention or nonprocedural technique. However copyrights have been successfully undermined since the Reagan years. For example, a song that is copyrighted is only protected in a limited way. If someone wants to take it, all they have to do is change the lyrics a little (very little really) or change one of the important notes of the melody... and they can use it as their own without paying royalties.. This rather gigantic loophole was engineered by the combined pressure of corporate media and advertisers, who want to use pop songs for their recognition value, but are too cheap to pay the songwriters for the use. Some very famous songs you hear in commercials are such ripoffs... changed just a little so the advertisers can avoid paying to authors. It's one of the many ways the music industry has been destroyed and musicians can no longer make any kind of living. It happened because Congress is clueless, caves in to corporate pressure, and the public is clueless and even fans of musicians don't seem to care that the composers have any ability to make money on their work. I wish we could rip off corporate america as easily as they have ripped us off... ---I was once a comfortably employed composer and musician. There are very few of us left, in case you haven't heard.

Are song lyrics protected by copyright? Do I need permission to use them on a website?
It depends on usage. Copyright laws get muddled along the way. What makes a song a song? The lyrics? The music? The little dance the singer does in the video? Is the dance copyrighted too? bla bla bla bla bla.It is NOT plagiarism to copy them unless you claim they're your own. I believe as long as you cite who performed it and don't make profit off of lyrics on a website (how?? idk.) you should be fine. Go for it. Worst case scenario: nobody looks at it because nobody visited your website. Because when was the last legal battle over usage of lyrics on the interwebz?
